Restaurant etiquette

If you are planning to dine out - whether a large group or just two of you, call in advance to make a reservation. By making a reservation, you avoid long waits, which can be even more awkward if there is a large group of hungry people with low blood sugar. Treat service staff with respect and always leave a tip. If the service is less then expected, you may leave a smaller tip, but never leave no tip. Discuss any problems with service with the maitre d’ or manager.
